3D Text effect

This tutorial shows you how to create a nice 3D text using only photoshop 7..

Ok, lets start a new document, the
document size depends on how big/much text you want
to create using this 3D method.

With your new document, lets create your 3D text. Im
using Arial Black, size 300px. (Note: DO NOT use the
"Faux Bold" option on this text or the next
step will fail).

Now we need to transform the text,
in text mode, we cannot transform much of the text,
we can rasterize the text, this will turn the text into
bitmap image, the downsize is that when we transform
the text, we will lose its crispiness. Another method
we can use is to convert the text into vector shapes,
so lets go ahead and do that. Layer » Text » Convert
to shape.

Now go to Edit » transform » Perspective. and pull
the right handlers at the bottom outward so it creates
a perspective look.

Now you can do futher transforming
by going to Edit » Transform » Skew/Distort,
just transform until you are happy with your text.

Now, while holding down CTRL+ALT,
press the UP arrow, as you will notice,
this duplicates the layer, and move it up by 1 pixel.
now do this about 35 times, after that, you will get
something like this:

Now, what you need to do is marge
ALL the "duplicated" layer together, EXCEPT
the top one.

To do this, make sure you select the 2nd layer to the
top and link it to ALL the layers underneath it together
like so...(DO NOT link to the background layer)

Now just go to Layer » Merge
Linked. This will merge all the bottom layers
as one, leaving you with 1 layer on top, and 1 on the
bottom (and of course, the background layer)
